  • Movie Review Finale - Surf's Up (D)
    May 3 2023

    After three years and three months, The Cereal Show draws to a close. In this final episode Drayton, Quinn, and Seth discuss Dribby’s favourite movie of all time, Surf’s Up. We’re joined by multiple community takes as we discuss how amazing Chicken Joe is before taking a trip down memory lane and inviting a special guest on at the end.


    Whether you’re tuning in now or have been since the tech news days, thank you for the support - it’s meant so much to all three of us. We never would’ve imagined so many would choose to listen to our rants, opinions, and jokes, and though we still might not know why, we’re glad we could’ve kept you company on long days, commutes, or just to be white noise.


    Love you all, catch ya on the flippity flip

  • Movie Review - Hunt for Red October (Q)
    Apr 18 2022

    The only thing longer than Phineas and Ferb’s summer vacation was the Cereal Show’s… but we’re back! Okay, back for a bit. Three final episodes to be exact. Each one dives into a favourite movie of ours, and in this episode, it’s Quinn’s! From Russian music to cooks being an occupational hazard, how terrifying the ocean is and a sprinkle of offending everyone.

    We hope you enjoy this return episode, are able to be patient with us getting used to this whole thing again, and finally, we want to thank you for the continued support, jokes, and inquiries about the thing that is, The Cereal Show.

  • Movie Review with Sarah - Little Women
    May 31 2021

    What’s better than three opinions on a movie? Four! We invite good friend Sarah to join us in discussing the 2019 movie, Little Women. Did it play our emotions like Beth played the piano or was it out of tune? We discuss the theme, book burning, how it should’ve ended, Jo and Laurie, and find out which March girl we are according to Buzzfeed; what could go wrong?

  • Movie Review - Spider-Man (2002)
    May 11 2021

    We wanted to do a spiderman movie, so we put it to you guys, and what won out was the very first one, what a great place to start! Was the birth of Spider-Man the best one? Has it been downhill ever since? Or is it a good thing we’ve moved on from Tobey Maguire?

    We dive into all those questions and more, from the Green Goblin to Mr. Bean.

  • Movie Review - Solo: A Star Wars Story
    Apr 14 2021

    Another Star Wars movie, because who doesn’t like a little controversy. Did Solo become a Cereal Show favourite or fall flat? We discuss fan service, the “all is lost” part of a good story, how the expanded universe snuck in, and if Qi’ra was really a bad guy.

    If you like banjo music, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

  • Movie Review - The Truman Show
    Mar 31 2021

    Is this podcast real? Is it just something presented to you in order to make you accept this reality in which you are living? That’s a bit too deep, what I can answer, however, is that we’re discussing the Truman Show in this episode of The Cereal Show! Does it fall flat on its philosophical face, or is there some true substance, comedy, and themes to the movie? 

    Also, applejacks anyone?
